Suzie COBOL
/soo'zee koh'bol/ 1. (IBM, probably from Frank Zappa's "Suzy Creamcheese") A
coder straight out of training school who knows everything except the value of
comments in plain English. Also (fashionable among personkind wishing to avoid
accusations of sexism) "Sammy Cobol" or (in some non-IBM circles) "Cobol
Charlie".
2. (proposed) Meta-name for any code grinder, analogous to J. Random Hacker.
